Am I horrible at poker?

[bobbywaves]

Am I horrible at poker?

No, the Blanko dinosaur is obviously butt hurt from the outcome of those poker hands.

But you do have insecurity issues by losing a hand & putting that player on ignore. Thinking he slow rolled you, when he didn't.

[Crusherrr]

Hand 2 and 3 are meaningless.

Saying that he's raised 79% of his buttons is silly. Are you saying that's high? It's actually on the low side heads up.

Your click-back on the flop is pretty lame. He let you see the turn though so that makes his play equally as bad.

What are you trying to rep with a click back? He's not going to fold bc of the price, you're not deep enough to raise much bigger.

You should have called flop, but can't blame him for getting it in as played.

Am I horrible at poker?

Looks pretty standard to me.

[dlowilly]

Hand 2 and 3 are meaningless.

They were included because they were 2 of the 3 the hands he made a comment about

Saying that he's raised 79% of his buttons is silly. Are you saying that's high? It's actually on the low side heads up.

Whether it's considered low or high, it's important info for the way I played the hands

Your click-back on the flop is pretty lame. He let you see the turn though so that makes his play equally as bad.

What are you trying to rep with a click back? He's not going to fold bc of the price, you're not deep enough to raise much bigger.

We only played 27 hands total and it was the first time I made a stand against his raise. Like I said, he was raising 79% of his buttons preflop so I thought check min raising a c bet would take it down if he didn't have an Ace which was very likely since he was almost always raising. If he did have something I had a well disguised draw which would get paid off, and it did.

You should have called flop, but can't blame him for getting it in as played.

If I just call the flop I have no chance of winning right there if he just has overs to my cards like KJ.

[dlowilly]

Looks pretty standard to me.

I thought so too, cards just went my way. Maybe he was either having a bad day which we all know the feeling, or he's gotten full of himself since he's atop his division in these joke poker tourneys. The swings are wild in a 6 man table 1000 chips to start format. I know, I've gone from the penthouse in previous events to the outhouse in recent ones.

[Crusherrr]

Check min raising probably works like 10% of the time effectively. If you were trying to take the pot down, that's not how you would do it. In fact, it forces you to then have to lead the turn at a much higher frequency to have a chance at taking the pot down. You hit the turn, luckily, so in this example you were going to lead anyways.

You didn't disguise your draw, you narrowed your range to several hands, including the 56 which is what you had. You didn't deny him any equity with your check raise. Calling is still the correct play on the flop.

It's still going to get in regardless of flop play so it's all for nothing anyways. This one hand isn't going to prove that anyone is horrible at poker.

I disagree

If he doesn't have an ace there, which many times he won't considering how much he is raising, he folds to a check raise there since it's the first time I played back at him. Much higher than 10% there.

If he calls, there's a chance I got myself a free card considering he may check just a pair of aces in fear of another check raise. If he bets then depending on the size I can either call based on implied odds for a river straight or I can fold with just one card to come, which is pretty much the same position I would be in had I not raised (without the chance of winning the pot on the flop).

Yeah I could have check raised for more but I think 14 has the same effect of 21 there (he has it or he doesn't) without investing as much in the pot. If you just call with your draws heads up ur in for a beating.

I also disagree it's still getting in regardless of flop play (unless you mean because of what cards actually did come). That's kind of a lame, silly results oriented assessment.

[jtoler]

1st hand

rainbow flop just call not raise

[blankoblanco]

Check-minraising your draw is dumb, dude. If I shove, great job, you just screwed yourself

And anyone who thinks my flop flat call is bad is results-oriented as fk, if I just shove all my good hands because I'm afraid of every draw I don't have a balanced range at all.

[dlowilly]

Worked like a charm, dude

Sorry my play confused you

[blankoblanco]

You literally could have done anything to get the chips, it's heads up and I have top and bottom pair you clown

Also it should go without saying that I said you're horrible for many reasons other than just this hand. For all I know this was one of your better played hands and it was still misplayed

You sound very salty. Also, you could have gone all in and pushed me off the hand. Instead you tried to trap with top and bottom thinking I just had a pair. Your bad play cost you. You should know not to slow play on here.

You have the hand histories. Please post these other "misplayed" hands you speak of.

"It should go without saying"? LOL. What a butthurt

If he had gone all in, we would be saying he was the one who played horribly. As it was played, his flop call is standard play (probably because it's the optimal play?). Your flop raise, as already explained, wasn't terrible but was pretty much pointless (especially oop) and just you charging yourself more for your draw without knowing where he was. Doesn't matter what anyone thinks of either one of your skill levels, the action speaks for itself.

I disagree it was pointless

He could definitely have a hand like KQ/KJ/QJ there. He will probably fold with that against any raise so I gave myself a chance to win right there instead of hoping my straight hit. If I just call the flop and my straight doesn't come he knows Im weak and may try to bet a good size to get me off middle pair he thinks I have, and the odds may not be there for me to call with my draw with only one card to come.

[dlowilly]

You were raising almost every hand! You have nothing more often than you have a hand you will want to shove with (two pair) and you didn't even do it then. The chances I win the pot right there with nothing outweigh the chances you have a great hand that you shove with.

[Itsamazing777]

good poker players capitalize on fear

[blankoblanco]

Look willy, I don't actually think you're "horrible" at poker, I just thought you made some goofy and pointless plays and you're considered one of the better players around here so I expected a slightly higher standard

But I basically said 5 words to you and left because I was tilted that you coolered me after how the match was playing out, so yes, I was salty about it

Who cares though

[JoeCool20]

Wwjcd?

LOL I made fun of DonkoDonko's ridiculous play one time and the dude began to stalk my threads and posts and

run his mouth on damn near everyone of them! LOL I would say Dlowilly has "created a monster" and

tell him to get ready to have all his posts stalked down by this maniac! But just to add to my "mystique"

and my legendary status, I'm sure Donko won't grant you the same psycho-infatuation that he granted me! LOL

[blankoblanco]

Joe, I write a line or two to you sometimes, then you go on a page-long rant to me that I don't even read. Who's infatuated?

[JoeCool20]

I would say the guy who is counting how long or short the posts are and then saying he ignores them! LOL

Sucks about Donk....you should have asked around first; any one of us could have told you that if you say one unflattering word to him, he does nothing but post these insanely long, nonsensical rants over and over and over and over and over again, usually in the same thread, until you want to tear your eyes out at how stupid he's being and how impossible it is to get through to someone too dense to comprehend what you're saying in between feverishly pounding on the keyboard to post 7 times in a row. Sucks you have to live with that

When I scroll past your post I can see how long it is. It's a superpower called "sight"

[JoeCool20]

Why even try to "dissect" these SBR hands? It has already been shown that it is the old

Yahoo poker RNG because there is not enough action or money to get any "real" or "true"

Poker software. All you do is try to play the best you can and see whether you get donked or not.

Obviously BlankoDonko isn't "great" at poker, nor is he "better" than anybody else on here who knows

how to play and what to do in most poker situations! He is just getting wildly donk lucky right now,

and whatever he does is working! Me, on the other hand, hell I can't even win an all in with AA in the hole,

without somebody donking me! It was EmpireMaker who got all the wild luck in the last one.

And then the poor guy didn't even win but about 200 betpoints because he didn't get donk lucky in the

money game! I don't speak for others because it is ignorant, but AT LEAST some of us can see that

DonkoDonko is just playing wild and loose and getting good cards along with it!! When you get good cards

and you DON'T get donked, AND you keep donking from behind when you have the worst cards,

then you get 2000 points in a damn month! None of it matters until it is for money! If he keeps donking 30% luck outs

when he is behind, and NOT getting donked when he is ahead IN THE MONEY GAME, then he will win some

actual money!

[JoeCool20]

When I scroll past your post I can see how long it is. It's a superpower called "sight"

So everyone should go research your longest post ever and then make sure all their posts are shorter

than your longest post? Or you will call their post a "page-long rant"??


LOL I doubt that is going to happen bro! Try to use your "Who cares" comment instead!

I like that one better!

Who cares though

Please man, I'm begging you, instead of running your mouth to a stranger on a sports chat site,

work on your inability to control your food intake to the point that you are grotesquely obese!

If you can't control something as simple as how much slop you throw down your face everyday,

then you won't be around much longer to make a fool of yourself on here!

Just don't go lard-ass on us!! LOL

[blankoblanco]

So Joe, how come you forgot to mention how you donked me twice in tonight's tournament? Weird. You always are the one who loses as a favorite and loses 50/50s huh? Hm

It's called poker. So chill out about it. I wouldn't even bring it up if you didn't cry every time you lost an all-in

[JoeCool20]
